Valorization of olive stone by-product as Fenton-like catalysts for olive mill wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Esteves B., Morales-Torres S., Maldonado-Hódar F., Madeira L.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The olive oil industry is responsible for the generation of highly-loaded and complex effluents (olive mill wastewaters, OMW) that pose several environmental threats. In particular, OMW’s polyphenolic fraction is known for its recalcitrant behavior and phytotoxic properties (McNamara et al., 2008...Read more
Ground based integrated path differential absorption sensor for remote sensing of CO2, CH4 and H2O atmospheric greenhouse gases
(Corresponding) Panagiotis S., Psyllakis G., Samartzis P., Velegrakis M.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
An autonomous, ground-based, integrated path, differential absorption light detection (IPDA) system is presented, capable of measuring multiple gases concentration in the atmosphere. The device was developed to monitor small scale locations with high greenhouse gases emissions and is equipped with...Read more
Environmental LCA and Carbon Footprint of Cauliflower as Produced in Southeast Spain
Rasines L., San Miguel G., Molina-García Á., Artés-Hernández F., Hontoria E., (Corresponding) Aguayo E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Southern Spain has an optimal climate for growing fruits and vegetables. Over 39,534 ha are currently dedicated to the production of cauliflower and broccoli in Spain, 33% of which correspond to the Region of Murcia. This type of intensive agriculture causes environmental impacts which must be...Read more

Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Under the Paris agreement, Malaysia has set its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030 (35% of which is on an unconditional basis), having 2005 as the base year. Carbon capture and utilization, together with an increased use of renewable energy sources, will be one of the main...Read more

Mitigation potentials of tree-crops: An economic evaluation of trading-off carbon sequestration with actual market goods.
Bithas K., (Corresponding) LATINOPOULOS D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
As climate objectives are far from being reached under the prevailing policies, more concrete actions should be undertaken, and all possibilities should be exploited. Land-based mitigation potentials are emerging as a cost-effective mitigation prospect. CO2 sequestration is an essential ecosystem...Read more
Application of solar photo-Fenton oxidation coupled with granular activated carbon as a viable option for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern in the urban wastewater of India
Karaolia P., Korelidou A., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
It has been estimated that approximately 62 billion litres of sewage are generated every day in India, with only 37% of sewage being treated (Saxena et al., 2021). Wastewater treatment issues such as dysfunctional UWTPs with many of them operating at low service levels compared to the design...Read more
Life cycle assessment of various combustion-based electricity generation technologies with carbon capture and storage: A review
Wang Y., Pan Z., Li R., (Corresponding) Zhang Z.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
With the continuous advancement of the industrialization process, climate change continues to intensify. Traditional electricity production consumes a lot of energy and fuel and is accompanied by huge amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. Although the rapid development of renewable energy...Read more

Symbiotic actions for CO2 capture and utilization in Cyprus
DIMA C., ANGELIS-DIMAKIS A., (Corresponding) ARAMPATZIS G.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
CO2 capture and utilisation (CCU) is one of the main pillars of EU strategy towards the reduction of the greenhouse gases. The development of symbiotic actions between CO2-emitting industries and potential receivers not only contributes to the above advantages but also has the possibility of...Read more
CO2 absorption into 4-diethylamino-2-butanol solution in a membrane contactor under wetting or non-wetting conditions
Li L., Pan Z., Baena-Moreno F., Borhani T., (Corresponding) Zhang Z.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
Natural gas produces a large amount of carbon emissions in the process of mining and processing, on the one hand from the energy use of processing facilities, on the other hand from the way that natural gas is extracted. The adoption of appropriate carbon capture technology is of urgency. The...Read more
Calculating Carbon Footprint in ports through a new Standard Tool: case study applications
Azarkamand S., Ferré G., (Corresponding) Darbra R.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
One of the main environmental problems in ports is Climate Change and its consequences. Since 1979, many international organizations have been working to control Climate Change. A literature review and a practical research were carried out to set up the basis to create a tool. These studies showed...Read more
